Is it possible to feed my own data to an instance of SC and also be able to receive market statistics in the same SC instance? and if yes - could you please give instructions how to configure it ? so this SC instance will be both - DTC client of my DTC server and also subscribe to Sierra own market statistics feed

Yes. Do direct editing of the custom symbol settings XML files and include the following data that is attached.

Sorry I need a bit more help.

what i have done:

- added TICK-SP to custom symbols, restarted SC - i can see it in the SC UI - Symbol Settings
- Global Settings >> Symbol Settings >> Use Custom Symbol Settings Values - enabled
- I set SC Data/Trade Service Settings to "DTC Service"
- Data/Trade Service Settings - Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds = Yes
- opened TICK-SP chart - it loaded data that was already locally stored
- connected SC to DTC server
- got MARKET_DATA_REQUEST immediately, server didnt send any response

the excerpt from the customsymbolsettings.dtc.xml :


<realtime-data-client>SC_Data_Server_Sub_Client_1</realtime-data-client>
<historical-daily-data-source>SC_INTERNAL_SERVERS_STANDARD_ADDRESS</historical-daily-data-source>
<historical-intraday-data-source>SC_INTERNAL_SERVERS_STANDARD_ADDRESS</historical-intraday-data-source>

shouldnt SC send request to sierra servers not to my DTC server for the symbols with SC_INTERNAL_SERVERS_STANDARD_ADDRESS?
